Re: [hylafax-users] Modem Won't Answer Incoming Fax

OS: SuSE 10.0

Hylafax v. 4.1.1-11.4 (SuSE binary distribution on SuSE media)


I am attempting to move from a SCO OSR5 system running VSI*FAX to the SuSE Linux system running HylaFAX. I have tried both the MT2834ZDX (which works fine on the SCO system) and a new MT5656ZDX with similar results: the modem does not answer incoming fax calls. On the SCO/VSI*FAX system the CD, 28 and TR lights are lit on the MT2834ZDX but only the 28 and TR lights on the Linux/HylaFAX system.

faxgetty has been enabled in /etc/inittab and is running along with hfaxd. faxstat indicates the HylaFAX Scheduler is not running.

The faxaddmodem utility configured the MT2834ZDX as a Class 2 modem but the MT5656ZDX as Class 1.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated. (I am new to HylaFAX.)


I would recommend starting with some reading:

The problem in your case, however, is either that the RingsBeforeAnswer is not set correctly or there some problem in communication/configuration in talking with the modem so it isn't getting initialized.

Thanks,

Lee.
